That looks awesome! If it has the stability of its bigger brother along with the speed he was going at it would be amazing! Wonder how long he will take to put it into production though.

Just watching this now and was about to post a thread...

Looks brilliant. So nice in the corners how it just doesn't change altitude.

Now this looks much more like it :)

It will on hinge though on the price I think.
Education and schoolin is good, but FPV is gooder :)

You can guarantee it'll cost a bomb. Wait for the HK version? :D

That's just well trained thumbs, surely?
Would be even better co-ordinated if it had a rudder...
;D

rudders don't really work on planes like this. for a rudder to be worth including, it would have to be out back on a tail of some description. I've seen videos of people trying all sorts to attempt to introduce some kind of yaw control on a "wing" style aircraft... the conclusion is that a rudder only works (usefully) on a tail

Yep, agreed, but what I'm getting at, is that to do a smooth turn, without losing height, is partly down to good co-ordination of controls, be it only ail / elev.
Rudder helps.
But so does a decent airframe.

I agree, I'd actually go so far as to say it's mainly down to good piloting skills.
